Who do the majority of you use to monitor your 3 credit scores? I am talking about a real FICO score

I am so confused about all of the monitoring services out there, I feel like all of it is a scam. Experian uses a different score than anyone else, Equifax and Transunion use a different scoring system. i was going to go with MYfico howvever online reviews of this company being hard to cancel , locking you into a nonrefundale contract etc; I have no idea who is a legit monitoring service or not. I actually called MyFico and the rep said there were never any specials and that the price is a solid $29.99 per month on a CC. Who do you guys use to monitor your credit and why? Thanks

I'm currently using myFICO and creditchecktotal, but will probably be dropping my subscription to myFICO and just buying reports here periodically. MyFico has the advantage of providing a wide range of different scores(the specialty ones for mortgage, auto, etc...) *when you pull a full report*(they're not updated when changes are detected) as well as just your general FICO 8 score(which is updated when changes are detected). Also their monitoring/alerts covers all 3 bureaus where CCT's monitoring/alerts only covers Experian(although you can pull the other two a few times a month at no extra cost, it just isn't going to check them automatically and send alerts for them). CCT has the advantage of a cleaner interface and cleaner report printouts(IMO they're cleaner and look much nicer, but I'm sure someone out there might prefer myFico's). They're also half the cost if you use the previous mentioned suggestion of signing up for the trial and then use the automated system to cancel and take them up on the offer it will give you.

HT2589 what is a security code when you are registering at the iTunes after you have put in your credit number

What is the security code when you are registering in the iTunes Store just after you have put in your credit card number?

It's the 3 or 4 digit code that is on the credit card, it's on the front of some cards, or others it's on the signature strip on the back : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3541

Hello. I have an iPhone 5S. Does anyone know who manufactures the SIM card Verizon uses in the 5S? Thank you.

Hello Erin and thank you for your quick reply.
My concern is in regards to the recent revelation that the NSA hacked into Gemalto's systems and has access to the encryption keys for SIM cards that Gemalto has produced over the last five years.

Is there a way to find out details about, who approved the RMA on system using front end or back end?

Is there a way to find out details about, who approved the RMA on system using front end or back end?

But is there a way (simple or not-so-simple) to find
out EVERY SINGLE FILE that's referenced on a
timeline? (I have lots of stuff imported into the
project that I know isn't used on any timeline, but
I'm afraid of moving or deleting things for fear of
never finding it again.)
I'd love to get some sort of "printout" (a list or
something) of every single file.
There is, go to browser and cntrl click on any one of the columns,
and select - show/source. A new column named "source" will pop up and will show where everything "lives". Click on the header at the top and it will justify the column as well. You'll notice this won't show anything for your seq.'s. of course, but will show stills/audio/motion files...
Once you have the new column, you can drag it next to the "name" column and get a grab of it and print it if you like, or whatever.
If you want to do this for just 1 seq., then can create a new bin and double click it to open it. Cntrl-A (select all) in your main seq. and just drag all into the new bin. You will see only what's in that seq. with the "source" column right next to it.
From what I've read, you seem to get the MM thing and it's obviously what you'll need to do to archive as the guys said. But what your missing is a file path system to where everything resides.
Hope this helps and that I've read you properly,
Peace

What are the major risks buying used lenses ?

i just bought my first dslr, and i was wondering what are the major risks buying used lenses ?

You need to be able to inspect and test the lens.
Look for obvious signs of physical damage, drops, etc. (cracks, dents, etc.) A lens normally will get some signs of wear but as it's a used lens, you expect *some* wear... you're really looking for signs of damage.
Remove both front and rear caps. Look through the lens into a bright no-contrast background (a white wall, a blue sky, etc.) and check the optics. You're looking for signs of mold growth or damage to coatings. Minor dust on internal optics wont impact the lens performance... so while you wouldn't want major amounts of dirt... don't worry too much about minor bits of dust (I've actually helped prove this to someone by clipping a 3M PostIt note down to a tiny 1/4" x 1/4" size and sticking it on the front glass. Take a photo... nothing shows in the photo (even a piece of "dirt" that big wont show because the camera cannot focus on anything that close to the lens.)
Rotate the focus ring from end to end. You should feel a smooth and consistent amount of friction as you rotate the focus ring. There should be no rough spots. Listen to the lens as you do this... there should be no grinding noises.
Do the same with the zoom ring but in addition to checking for smooth consistent performance (no sticky or rough spots) you're also checking to make sure nothing seems excessively worn (nothing wobbles loose... very heavily used lenses can do that after enough wear.)
Connect the lens to the camera and make sure the camera can completely operate the auto-focus motors without a problem and/or if it's an image stabilized lens that the IS components are working.
Set the camera to max aperture (e.g. f/22, f/32.. depending on the lens) and press your camera's "depth of field preview" button (if you don't know which button is your DOF preview, check your manual. Canon tends to move that one around a bit but it's almost always on the front side of the camera near the lens mount.) You want to press and release it a few times. This will cause the lens aperture blades to stop down to the aperture you set. Release... do this while watching the lens. You should see the aperture blades move in and out (well... they snap in and out very quickly). You want to make sure it works ok, the camera gets no error codes, and there's no signs that anything is sticking.
And then there is the focus test...
Focus the camera preferably at a FLAT surface that has lots of detail.... such as the brick wall of a building. Make sure the camera is level and that the camera's focal plane is parallel to the plane of the wall. Take a test photo at low f-stop and inspect. You're checking to verify that the focus works and that the focus is reasonable across the image. As you inspect from left ot right and top to bottom you are looking to make sure the focus is more or less equal (if the right side of the image is focused... but the left side of the image is soft... it would indicate that lens elements are skewed (lens isn't collimated). It's difficult for a lens to get into this situation unless it was dropped and you'd probably see signs of damage.

Who makes the nicest, easiest to use Flash website design software?

Please forgive the beginner's question. I would like to build
a flash site like
http://www.hockaday.org from an
easy to use Flash template. You get what you pay for so my first
choice isn't something for free but a 30-day free trial version
would be nice.
What I like best about
http://www.hockaday.org is the
great menus and that pictures continually reload in interesting
ways.
Maybe a template is too restrictive. Who makes the nicest,
easiest to use Flash website design software that allows fast
creation of those fancy menus and with other fast features to do
nice things with pictures and motion?
I need to create a site like
http://www.hockaday.org
immediately so I don't have the time to learn Flash first. What's
my best bet?

you are in a catch 22 - you don't have time to learn flash -
yet you need to build an entire site
immediately - you can't - sure you can download a template
that is similar but if this forum is any
proof, you almost need more flash knowledge trying to
decipher most templates in order to edit them
- search this forum, there are several posts per week from
non-flash users who purchased templates
and have no clue how to edit them. Often times it is hard for
an educated flash user to
reverse-engineer a FLA made by somebody else - Flash
documents are blank canvases that can be setup
a myriad ways by different users making the same thing - some
developers are more organized than
others - most templates are not organized but rather thrown
together for a quick profit.
You will simply need to learn enough flash to understand how
it works or hire somebody to edit the
template for you.
hope this helps.

How to restart the mac like the first time you use it?

how to restart the mac like the first time you use it?

Surefire way is by completely reinstalling the OS after erasing the Macintosh HD boot volume.
I think there's a way to coerce the Setup Assistant to run once again like on First Start, but requires erasing a couple of files in the drive. Don't know which ones right now.

Finding Fonts in Fireworks - Why Does it Always Start at the Top, Instead of the Last Font You Used?

I've been using Fireworks for many years and I love it (currently using CS5). But I live irritated with the way it starts at the beginning of your font list when you're selecting a font - instead of going right to the last font you used, which is how many other programs work.
Is there a way to change settings in Fireworks so it'll do this?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

I scanned that article and it explains how to set the number of recent fonts shown at the top. But here's what I was talking about...
Let's say you're working on something and you have your text highlighted and you're working down the font list trying different fonts. You try a few A fonts, then B fonts, and so on, down the list. Well, instead of Fireworks bringing you back to the current font IN THE LIST, everytime you go to try another font, it starts back at the top, and you have to scroll down and find where you were in the list ALL OVER AGAIN EVERY SINGLE TIME.
In Illustrator, when you have the Character box open, it does exactly what I'm describing. If you have some text selected, every time you change the font and go back to the font drop-down, it takes to you to where you are. If Myriad is the font you are currently using, it doesn't start you back at the top when you go to the drop-down to find another font. It takes you to Myriad in the list.

Can you change the Bitrate when you use the "Compressor" High Quality...?

Yes. Duplicate the preset, then customize it all you want.

The first time you use nike + do u have to wake up the sensor?

the first time you use nike + do u have to wake up the sensor?

There is no need to charge it before you first use it. You cannot run the battery too low as the system will shut the device off before that happens to protect the battery.
Generally speaking, your Lithium battery will have the longest useable life if you avoid deep cycles. Since you can plug and unplug it as you wish, the best thing to do is just charge it up (however much) whenever it is convenient to do so (whether it is 10% discharged, or 20% or 50% - basically don't pay any attention to the battery level, just plug it in when it is convenient to do so to keep the battery topped up). And try to avoid frequent deep cycles where you run it all the way or very near to the point it auto-shuts off.

The more times you use your charger the less efficient it becomes?

So is this true?
I heard somewhere that the more times you use your laptop charger, the less effiecient (i.e. slower to charge) it becomes.
I also heard it is very bad for the charger(as well as the environment) to leave it plugged in while its not in use.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

Neither of these crackbrained notions is true, though the adapter does draw about one watt of AC power when it's plugged in and nothing is connected to it. Leaving it like that 24/7 would run your electric bill up by nearly a third of a cent per day, if you never plugged the MagSafe into your computer at all. Whatever else you're doing with your life has a heckuva lot more impact on the environment than that does.

HT2534 can you use paypal instead of credit card for iTunes

just got an Ipad & am trying to download apps but can't as I need to give credit card details. Can you use paypal instead of credit card?

Sad but true, I've tried to pay for iTunes Match with my credit and couldn't because it's a subscription service, regardless the credit amount I have. The system ask me to pay with my credit card too.
How are Family Sharing purchases billed?
When you initiate a new purchase, it will be billed directly to the family organizer's account, unless you have gift or store credit. First, your store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer. iTunes Store credit on your account isn't shared with other family members. So if the family organizer has a $50 credit on their account and another family member initiates a purchase, it won't deduct from the organizer's iTunes Store credit, but will bill the organizer's credit or debit card.

What do you use as monitors?

What I'm really asking is what kind of speakers do you use?
Whats your set-up?
What would you recommend?

JBL LSR4328, Mackie HR824, Altec Lansing "POS"
Love the JBL's for my room. More Accurate than 824s and the image is awesome, but good to A/B compare mixes with both. The AL's are just some crappy 10 year old computer speakers, but again for comparitive mixing (they kind of sound like an average bad car stereo system). A/B/C switching with Mackie Big Knob...it's got a bit knob on it. That's cool...= )

Hello, I am trying to upgrade to yosemite, but I get the "disk cannot be used to startup your computer" error. Resizing the partition does not work, I get the error "MediaKit reports no such partition" probably because I installed linux in dual boot

Hello, I am trying to upgrade my macbook pro to yosemite, but I get the "disk cannot be used to startup your computer" error.
Resizing the partition does not work for me and I get the error "MediaKit reports no such partition" probably because I installed linux in dual boot and the disk manager is lost.
Anyway to tell the yosemite installer that it should not pay attention whether the disk is bootable or not ?
If I am doomed, any way to delete the installer and downloaded OS from my hard drive ?
Thanks for your help

As usual, the Linux installer wrecked the partition table. You would have to boot from your OS X installation disc and repartition. Doing so will of course remove all data from the drive, so you must back up first if you haven't already done so.

What do you use to keep your mac fast

You have DiskUtility to run periodicly for your basic good house keeping. As for as fast I would recommend 8GB of RAM.
I would recommend Installing AppleJack -
"a user friendly troubleshooting assistant for Mac OS X. With AppleJack you can troubleshoot a computer even if you can`t load the GUI, or don`t have a startup CD handy. AppleJack runs in Single User Mode and is menu-based for ease of use."
